Radiant Energy: The laser scanner uses one low-power visible laser diodes operating at 650nm in an opto-mechanical scanner resulting in less than 3.9μW radiated power as observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds. Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner, as unscanned laser light with a peak output up to 0.8mW would be accessible inside. Laser Light Viewing: The scan window is the only aperture through which laser light may be observed from this product.

USER’S MANUAL Stand Outline Set device into stand in this direction Device Holder Logo Gently set the device into the stand in the direction shown by arrow. The stand supports the device as hands-free mode and it tilts in 36° angle range shown as below.
USER’S MANUAL Connecting Power The scanner requires a minimum of 250mA at 5 VDC power. The interface cable that comes with the scanner supports both direct power (where the scanner takes power from the host machine) and external power (that’s what the supplied power adapter is for).
USER’S MANUAL Connecting to the Host The interface cable comes with different host-end connectors, depending on the host. Follow the steps below to connect the interface cable to the host. 1. Make sure that the power of the host system is off. 2. Connect the host end of the interface cable to the appropriate connector on the host system. 3. For those cases where external power is used, plug the external AC power adapter into the jack on the interface cable. 4. Turn on the host system.
USER’S MANUAL Setting up the Scanner In certain cases no setup is required. The scanner is either pre-programmed to suit the situation, or it automatically detects and is ready to go. In other cases the scanner must be informed about what kind of system it is connected to. This can be done in a few moments using the programming barcodes enclosed in the later sections of this booklet.
USER’S MANUAL Operating the Scanner The scanner can read barcodes in either omnidirectional or single-line mode to accommodate different requirements. This scanner is truly omnidirectional while single-line mode is usually used for better aiming on the specific barcode on the same sheet of more than one barcode printed closely. Function Button Press down the Function Button on top of the scanner as shown below to switch between omnidirectional scanning and single-line scanning modes.
USER’S MANUAL 2) Multi-Line Scan Mode: As if the scanner is not on the stand as well as the Function Button is not pushed down (which Function Button LED is off), the scanner is in Multi-Line Scan Mode by pressing the trigger button to decode. The below illustrates the operation on large bulky items without aiming on the barcodes. 3) Single-Line Scan Mode: As if the scanner is not on the stand and the Function Button is pushed down (which Function Button LED is on), the scanner is in Single-Line Scan Mode.
USER’S MANUAL LED Indications A dual color red-blue LED indicates operating status as follows: LED status Indication Off No power supplied to the scanner Steady blue light The scanner is on and ready to scan One red flash A barcode has been successfully decoded. Steady red light A barcode has been successfully decoded, but the object is not removed from the scan window. The scanner is in programming mode. Flashing blue light The scanner is in sleep mode.
USER’S MANUAL Sleep Mode After the scanner has been inactive for a period of time, the laser automatically turns off; then the motor will turn off and the scanner will enter into “Sleep Mode”, the blue status LED blinks once as indication. To wake up the scanner, simply present an object close to the exit window, or press the trigger button. The scanner includes a motion sensor that detects activity in front of the scan window.
USER’S MANUAL Maintaining the Scanner The scanner is designed for long-term trouble-free operation and rarely requires any maintenance. Only an occasional cleaning of the scanner window is necessary in order to remove dirt and fingerprints. Cleaning the Scan Window Wipe the scan window with a soft lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to avoid scratching and damaging the scan window. The scan window may be cleaned while the scanner is running.
USER’S MANUAL Troubleshooting Problem The scanner is on but cannot read barcodes. The LED stays blue. Diagnostic Tips The scanner window is dirty. Clean the scanner window as described in the “7. Maintaining the Scanner” section. The presented barcode type is not enabled. Use the Programming section to tell the scanner to accept that type of barcode. The host has disabled the scanner. Check host setup. The barcode type presented is not supported by the scanner.
